    Great news - I've just had this email from the Ingrams "We are still operating, and as long as health and circumstances permit, we will carry on doing so."

    I've just discovered the sun shining onto the date of an 1863 penny. Must be a die clash of border teeth, I guess.

    I see that the 2 D2 coins went for £1800 - it's probably the first time that this variety has come to market in recognisable form even though they weren't catalogued as such. It will be interesting to see what they sell on for, assuming they were bought for that reason. This sale values them at around £7-900 each.

    Stuff to Make Us Laugh

    I was totally incredulous the other day when my wife declared that she was the world's number one fan of the Monkees. But then I saw her face........................

    On my own F73 7 over 7, the die crack is much worse (and her knee is still smoking !).
  15. secret santa
    My example definitely has polished surfaces and it might be only my imagination but all the examples of so-called F74's that I've seen appear to have the H a little further from the linear circle than your photo.

    What the heck is this coin?

    secret santa replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Margaret Thatcher would be delighted to see herself on a coin......

    No, John (Chingford) may have a better idea of scarceness.
  18. secret santa
    i've just noticed that yours is paired with a different Obverse as it has a Narrow Date , my example has a wide date There may be a slight difference in width but they are both 1858 large date numerals.
  19. secret santa
    Neat work, Ian - how do you produce those overlapped pictures ?
  20. secret santa
    I agree that "may" is better than "can" but it's the word GET that gets my goat.
  21. secret santa
    And what about the awful habit that's crept in of saying "Can I GET a ham sandwich ?" instead of "Can I have a ham sandwich ?".

    Mine just tells me I'm not listening, although if I know that, then I must be listening............................

    Almost everyone on "The Chase" this week seemed to start every sentence with "So" - I literally exploded with anger (but they managed to so me back up again).
  24. secret santa
    Just a bit of a bang, I think. My own similar date has a straight 4.

    Are you able to take better photographs ? You'll need them to accurately determine variety and grade. Your 1922 attached below.
